Have you started Christmas shopping? How about wrapping?

[Michelle]

I don't buy for many people, so this is easier for me than most. We buy for Kathryn, Lauren, my nephew, my mil, and Dave's employees. Dave gets GC's for his employees, and I buy the rest of the gifts.

I am about 90% done with gift buying for Lauren and about 30% done with Kathryn's. So I feel pretty good about things right now. I even wrapped all of the gifts I've bought yesterday morning.

So how are you doing? Hopefully you're not throwing rotten tomatoes at me right now LOL :p

bwahahaha. Not a single gift bought. I haven't been organized about buying gifts in a few years now. I don't have a clue what to buy the kids this year.

We're all done with the kids. My parents should be easy. I knitted a scarf and hat for my Mom and will add some gift cards to her favorite stores. My Dad will be gift cards and a MovieMaker dvd of the kids that I should really get started on. Dh...who knows?

My sister-in-law mentioned today that perhaps this year we won't do the adult grab bag and only do the kid grab-bag. So, we'll see...maybe it will be even less that I'll need to get!

Every year I buy Kathryn & Lauren an ornament each. When they move out on their own, they'll have a set of ornaments to start with. I bought this year's ornaments today. I bought Kathryn a Camp Rock ornament for only $3.99. I bought a Charlie Brown snow globe ornament for $4.99 (both from Target).

I also bought a Greyhound print and necklace for Kathryn from Etsy. I'll wrap those tomorrow. :)

Oh, and I bought a Marshall's GC for my mil the other day. Just need to get her some Skin So Soft oil and earrings or some other piece of jewelry from Avon.

I won't buy anything for my nephew until closer to the holiday so I can ask my brother for some ideas.

Check out the Merlin electronic game device made by Hasbro and available from Amazon. My wife and I are betting on it for most of the relatives this Xmas. It's affordable at $16 and a retro blast for us kids who grew up in the 70's.

Favorite food: Nog. Favorite decorations: vintage Christmas cutouts. Favorite song THIS year: Christmas Time Is Here from the Charlie Brown Christmas show.

We don't wrap until Christmas Eve, around 1 am. The hiding places require a little flexibility and if we wrapped, we wouldn't be able to store the gifts in those hidey-holes.

just started with a few, I'm not that organized and ok with it. Will wrap everything in one lazy afternoon infront of a favorite movie.

I forgot that sometimes my mom & I wrap gifts when she gets here from PA. She often orders gifts online and has them shipped to me so she won't have to cart them up here herself. So anything I've bought since then won't be wrapped until she gets here so we can have a wrapping party.

I'm done with my mil's gift. I need to get something for my father. My parents decided that they really miss exchanging gifts w/their children, so I'll be buying for them too this year.

I bought my nephew's gift and stocking stuffers today.

I'm in very good shape :)
